“Mr. Wolf” (Leguizamo) and his men enter a bank and leave with the money. Once outside, the former U.S. Marines are attacked by city police officers. Once the shooting begins some of the frightened bank customers flee out the back door. Wolf tells his men to retreat back into the bank. The men, who go by animal codenames, begin to barricade themselves in the bank along with about twelve hostages. Captain Horst Cali, a police negotiator, (Wahlberg) arrives outside and begins to set up the command post in a local restaurant. Slowly the news of the hostage situation begins to spread throughout the town. People show up outside to catch a glimpse of what is going on but are pushed away by police barricades. After Cali refuses to meet one of Wolf’s demands, Wolf threatens to kill a hostage if the demand is not met within the hour. As the deadline approaches, Wolf begins to contemplate if he could kill an innocent man. One of his men argues “This is not what we signed on for. We said no one would get hurt, now we are cop killers.” The first episode ends with Cali being replaced as head negotiator from FBI and more of Wolf’s Marine troops on their way.
